The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 812

Jonah stopped mid-step and turned toward Hailey.

Her eyes lit up with excitement. Running into Jonah here felt like destiny—especially since she'd been struggling to find a way inside to meet Cedrick.

"Mr. Pilsner, do you remember me? We've crossed paths a couple of times. The last time, you were driving a taxi and helped me get away from someone."

She hoped he hadn't forgotten her.

Jonah's gaze remained steady as he looked at her. "I remember you," he said.

Hailey breathed a sigh of relief. "Mr. Pilsner, it's a pleasure to formally introduce myself. My name is Hailey Young."

"Hello, Ms. Hailey." Jonah's voice was low and cold, betraying no hint of emotion.

Hailey couldn't read his thoughts, nor could she predict whether he would agree to her request.

This man was an enigma to her. He was clearly a rising star in the business world, so why had he been driving a taxi?

But at that moment, all she could do was press on. She wouldn't give up as long as there was even the faintest chance.

She couldn't stand by and watch Ewan destroy the Lambert family.

"Mr. Pilsner, I have a small favor to ask. I need to meet with Mr. Cedrick Morrison. I heard you're close friends—would you be willing to take me inside with you?"

Jonah didn't give an immediate answer. Instead, he asked, "Ms. Hailey, why do you need to see him?"

"To be honest, Mr. Pilsner, Lambert Group has a partnership with Mr. Morrison, but we're facing some challenges. He's considering ending our collaboration, and I need to speak with him to try to save it. Mr. Pilsner, could you help me?"

"Alright," Jonah replied.

Hailey was ecstatic. "Mr. Pilsner, thank you! I really appreciate your help!"

"But listen," Jonah added. "Mr. Morrison and I are close friends. When we go in, I need you to remain quiet at first. I'll find the right moment to bring it up. Can you do that?"

Hailey nodded without hesitation. "I promise!"

"Let's go."

Ewan couldn't quite understand why someone like Jonah would choose to hide his face.

Jonah's tone remained calm and composed. "I prefer not to have people see my face. That's why I always wear a mask."

Everyone had their own reasons for doing things. Ewan nodded, but his expression quickly shifted when he noticed Hailey standing behind Jonah.

His posture stiffened. "Hailey? How did you get in?"

He had been sure she was still outside, yet here she was, right in front of him.

Who had allowed her in?

Ewan's expression darkened. "Hailey, who gave you permission to enter? Guards!"

Two security personnel dressed in black immediately moved forward.

Ewan's voice grew cold and authoritative. "This is a private club. She doesn't have an appointment, yet somehow she managed to slip in. It's obvious she's here to disrupt Mr. Morrison. Get her out. Now."
